Pretty Cool!

Thanks. I knew someone somewhere in the Catholic Church had to think of something like that.

I knew SSPX had a page somewhere where you could find their masses, but obviously while a Protestant myself might view that as acceptable for someone who just wanted to go see a Latin Mass, it wouldn't work for most Catholics in good standing.

I still can't believe the Vatican doesn't just create a spreadsheet somewhere listing all the public regular Catholic masses in countries without persecution, with a column to say "Novus Ordo" or "Tridentine." It'd be just about the first thing I'd do if I were creating a worldwide denomination/church with a single point of contact. And then I'd convert it to a database and write a web interface you could punch your zip code (or other national equivalent) into to get a link to Google maps.

Well surely they have some kind of list of all the Catholic churches worldwide...I guess since it's usually quite easy to find them they don't really see that as a necessity. After all,you just go to the diocesan webpage for an area and they have a list of all the Catholic churches in their area, usually with links to their individual webpages.

And I guess this one is primarily to help clergy and laymen who would like a latin mass in the same area to get together? I know that the cathedral I go to already has a Latin mass community (they've been around for a while in Austin).

Austin, Texas, United States

Here's my life in a nutshell - I was raised in the Church of Christ, met a French Catholic guy online in my teens, tried to convert him to the Church of Christ, and-SURPRISE!-ended up converting myself to Catholicism. We ran off to France and got married, came back to the states, I got a degree in English, he got a degree in Computer Science, he got a job, and I am now happily living life as a Catholic housewife.
